And we *barely* integrated in the first place.

so much of our present misery is just a giant, prolonged backlash to integration

Group chats all over the diaspora peeped this immediately. We exist, we remember, and this erasure only highlights the historical shame and complicity.

In honor of Black History Month, I am busting out one of my favorite series of comics from my youth. www.si.edu/object/nmaah... - Anyone else remember the Golden Legacy Illustrated History Magazine?

Hope you like reading my first freelance feature at Kotaku. Had the opportunity to speak with @aerialknight.com about his newest game, DropShot & self-publishing. Big thanks to @carolynmichelle.bsky.social for helping me with edits & @ethangach.bsky.social for accepting my pitch.

Happy Black History Month

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

As cartoonishly gorey and batshit (both positive) as Send Help gets, it does a stellar job of conveying what it feels like to be pushed to your mental breaking point in an abusive workplace. My review:

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I am trying not to post on these events in this state of mind but: I hope people understand what the observers are doing is brave and dangerous.

Anyone who is part of the federal government who is not doing everything in their power to stop this administration, regardless of the assumed cost to normalcy or career, is a coward and a collaborator.

Strong Songs Season Eight is now underway! The season premiere is about “Rosanna” by Toto. This episode was incredibly fun to make - what a band, and what a great song. (And what a pair of guitar solos??) I hope you enjoy it. 🎶

@samthielman.com writes an absolute heater about a zombified American empire that nevertheless retains its relentless appetite for brains and flesh.

Inspiration and spiritual fortitude for a political fight we need to have.

Happy MLK day, gang! Martin was a Democratic Socialist, anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, thought white moderates were the bane of Black existence, and died on a trip to support a sanitation workers' strike! Beware his sanitized and sanded-down edit!

Friends, Claudette Colvin—the 15-year-old who refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus in March 1955 & joined the federal case against bus segregation that went to the Supreme Court — died today at age 86. But there are lots of myths and mis-impressions about her. A short corrective thread:

Fela Kuti's Zombie turns 50 in 2026. It's one of the best anti-authoritarian anthems ever and sadly has always been relevant, even moreso now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qj5x...

The shooting in Minnesota is a reminder that while authoritarian governments may justify abuses of power by directing them at scapegoats or vulnerable populations, the goal is ultimately to deploy them against anyone they wish to www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
